John C Dalton/Donna Marie Crank plane crash, Wharton Dec. 1977

Hello - I'm trying to find any info on people involved in a tragic crash that killed three in Wharton (plane crashed in Lonnie Beard's field) in late 1977. I'm connected to John's son, John C. Dalton III, who may have lived in Wharton at the time but who grew up in Phoenix and knew very little about his dad (was only 8 months old when he died). If anyone has any info about these events or people it would be wonderful to hear what you know!
